> I’ll soon upgrade to HTTPS here. Pardon my ignorance and probably silly question, but what is the point of making data transfers to/from blog hosted at own domain more secure? If I get it right, it will just hide which certain articles reader visits (not that he visits this certain domain) and it will prevent caching along the wire. I suppose there must be some real benefit of this right in from of me (see "everyone else seems to have performed the same upgrade"), but I cannot see it. Any clues?

For the user, the benefit is privacy and MITM protection. Hopefully, eventually browser chrome will explicitly mark non https sites as unsafe (like a red bar at the url).

  Ok, valid point.
